The Koudoum Chapar khaneh is a very fair example of the average Persian post-house. Imagine a small one-storied building, whitewashed, save where wind and rain have disclosed the brown mud beneath. A number of rats scamper away at our approach. I wonder what on earth they can find to eat, until Gerôme points out a large hole in the centre of the apartment.
He had looked out for the blacks, and had told them that they must help him to get the cattle. They had managed from time to time to drive off a few calves. As has been said, cattle have a fear of blacks, and, scenting them at a long distance, scamper off as soon as they draw near. Thus Peach could not get much help from his friends.
They both agreed that a scamper on the Continent would now be good for him. At nine o'clock he passed the rectory, on his way, strange to note, to the church. There was one light burning, but it was not in the study nor in Alice's window. He supposed they had not returned. He paused and thought. If anything happened, she should know. But what should happen? He shook his head.
Kranich carried the story dutifully to his aunt, adding his own ingenious surmise: "Can Francine have become sufficiently Anglicised to contract secret marriages with roving revolutionists, and scamper about the country with ardent young Frenchmen in the style of Gretna Green?" In fact, it was really from London that Mrs.
"Scamper and I have been over to the store to get some cheese. I thought you were a burglar, just at first. Push open the door and trot in." "It is Cousin Nimble-toes!" cried a noisy chorus of little mice. "It is Nimble-toes Field-Mouse, sure as I'm a mouse!" declared Uncle Squeaky. "Welcome to our attic, my lad." "You must be hungry after your long tramp, Nimble-toes," said Mother Graymouse.
A look through the telescope showed that the Communists were crouching behind walls and houses, occasionally, when the fire of the guns was silent, a few of them would get up and advance into the open, but only to scamper back into shelter as soon as they reopened fire.
There were hills in the back ground, which might probably shelter vultures, kites, and the family of quadrupeds that feed upon offal, and much did I desire to mount a high trotting camel, and take a scamper amongst these hills obliged to content myself with jogging soberly on with my party, I was fain to find amusement in the contemplation of a cavalcade, the like of which will probably not be often seen again.
"Havin' only five hours to do all his work," said Scattergood, "I calc'lated he would be some took up. Tell him Scattergood Baines wants to have a talk to him, sonny." "Have an appointment?" "No, sonny," said Scattergood, "but if you don't scamper into his room fairly spry, the seat of your pants is goin' to have an appointment with my hand."
There was a great scamper to the mothers to get the clothes, and then all the arms went up with their precious load. When each child had had a drink and a cake they went out, to make room for the outsiders and old people.
If some one cast Ted loose would he join forces with them, and make common cause against the ruffians? Judging from what he knew about the fellow, from past experiences, Paul thought no dependence could be placed on Ted. As likely as not if his hands were free, he would seize the very first chance to snatch up the bag and scamper off, leaving the others to bear the brunt of the men's anger.
